Question

I saw____very bright star in the sky a few nights ago

​

Answer 1

The blank can be filled with the word "a".

• The sentence thus becomes "I saw a very bright star in the sky a few nights ago".
• Since the sentence talks about a specific event, it is imperative that the person saw one particular star that he or she remembered.
• Hence, the bright star shuld be referred to as "a bright star".
• "A" is an article that is used to refer to a particular object, especially one that is part of a larger set. SInce the star we're talking of is just one amng the millions of stars that dot the night sky, it is appropriate to fill the blank using 'a'.
